you will need a grinder to get the old rivets out; a drill would probly work but be a lot harder. once the old one is off the new one needs to be bolted on. im not sure if the come with bolts i did it on mine but its been a few years ago; you probly need a pickling fork to get the joint apart fist befor grinding the rivets out
Cost on replacing ball joints on a 2001 Buick lesabre
Bottom of engine, passenger side, next to CV joint.
CV Joint going out
You need a ball joint press to do that job. Remove old ball joint with sledge hammer and press new on into control arm.
Possibly a defective CV joint if it happens in turns, or if it only happens when you apply the brakes, then it needs new pads.
Possibly worn CVC joint. Have the CVC joints inspected. It might be that your motor mounts are broked and the motor is lifting up and slaming back on the chasey
Loosen the hub nut in the center of the wheel. Then raise the car and take off the wheel. Finish taking off the hub nut. Take of the brake caliper and rotor. Remove the stabilizer bar from the lower arm. Seperate the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle. You may have to use a puller to push the cv axle out of the hub. Then jently pry the other end out of the transmission. That is how you take the halfshaft(aka cv axle)off. I don't know if your going to rebuild the joints or change the whole axle, but I just changed the whole axle on my 87 LeSabre. It just seemed alot easier.
Two muscles are not needed to move a joint but a bone attached to a joint in 2 opposite directions .
very carefully!
When you change what joint yer smokin'
Yes, a change in elevation can cause joint pain.
Hypertrophic change of the AC joint is overgrowth in the acromioclavicular joint, often due to Arthritis.
